It's a male artist - hence "acompañado".
I think "dedicating himself" and "giving his all" are a bit formal, and this is more colloquial.

: Dedicating himself is wrong here in English. Pulling out all the stops is more what it means.

To dedicate oneself body and soul is an expression meaning 'entregarse de lleno' that is exactly what 'dando el todo por el todo' means. http://www.wordmagicsoft.com/dictionary/en-es/dedicate onese...

giving it his [her/their] all for the packed crowd
"Body and soul" is overblown and trite, and "sea of fans" is an unnatural calque.
Something went wrong...
